Welcome to the Food Co-op 500
The Food Co-op 500 Program is a support system that seeks to enable a faster and more efficient start-up process to develop new retail grocery co-ops. Our first suggestion is that you completely review this entire site to gain knowledge and understanding of the program. You can contact Stuart Reid, our Food Co-op Development Specialist, at stuartreid@cdsfood.coop or by phone at 507-664-2034.
